Kenyans have three more days to register as voters after the High Court ordered the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to continue the exercise until February 19.

Judge Chacha Mwita ruled that the mass voter registration that was initially scheduled to end on February 14 will now be extended after an application by activist Okiya Omtatah who filed a constitutional petition challenging the termination of the registration of voters.

"The IEBC is hereby directed to continue with mass voter registration until February 19 2017 at 6pm after which it shall stand closed,"
